5. The Financial Model: Direct Sales Profit

Part 7 • Ordering 'Creator Copies' from ElasticStage

Let's illustrate the financial model for Creator Copies:

<ul> <li><strong>ElasticStage Creator Copy Cost:</strong> $22.50 (for a vinyl record that retails at $30, this is 25% off).</li> <li><strong>Your Selling Price at Show:</strong> $30 (or whatever you set).</li> <li><strong>Your Direct Profit:</strong> $30 - $22.50 = $7.50 per unit.</li> </ul> This provides a healthy direct profit, allowing you to effectively monetize your live presence and other direct sales channels.
